UNH Hosts Literacy Workshops to Improve Student Writing

DURHAM, N.H. -- Beth Olshansky, creator of two programs that improve
student writing through literacy, will conduct four workshops during the
month of January at the University of New Hampshire. These unique art-and-literature
based literacy programs have been proven by research to dramatically improve
student writing and are guaranteed to entice even the most reluctant writers.

Olshansky is the program developer and director of Image-Making Within
the Writing Process and Picture Writing: Fostering Literacy Through Art.
Both programs are run out of the Laboratory for Interactive Thinking at
UNH.

Elementary school teachers, language arts teachers, reading specialists,
art specialists and special education teachers are encouraged to attend.
Classroom facilitation practices, classroom management and mini-lessons
will be addressed. The workshops run from 8:30 a.m to 4 p.m. The schedule
